Multi-disciplinary Engineer > Product Manager > Serial Entrepreneur > Corporate Strategist > GenAI Builder. Diverse background in Industrial Systems, IoTs, SaaS & AI. The common thread in my dizzying past is Data; I've developed a broad & deep appreciation for how various types of data are measured, collected, analyzed and acted upon... it's all fractal, and I believe the next layer of value comes from generative AI.I currently lead Product Strategy for the AI & Data Management Portfolio at TELUS Business Solutions. We are leading Canadian businesses to utilize Generative AI like ChatGPT, to create horizontal, solution-agnostic services that help address today's workforce limitations.One of my proudest achievements was my startup "Aloom" which sits at the intersection of music, AR, AI, & IoT - with a deeply personal mission to help people feel more connected during isolating times. I bootstrapped the company for 3 years; with the help of a couple angels & team members - we did $500k worth of tech dev for $50k, & were months away from a production launch of our SHaaS product.Before that, I develop a B2B SmartHome IoT product line from the ground up at AMPL ENERGY. In partnership with software platform company Embue, I contributed across the entire lifecycle and breadth of this new ecosystem, from extensive customer interactions to designing, building and shipping thousands of products (and growing!) across the US. What sparked my entrepreneurial journey was an unrelenting urge to create; after building my engineering foundations in western Canada, I took a leap of faith & moved out east to Boston for my Master's to commercialize a fire radiation sensor I had made in undergrad - I was fortunate enough to be given opportunities to do so; from academic conferences to patent authorships & licensing, to government grant funding, I persisted in co-founding Global Fire Products with a serial entrepreneur, who mentored me a "street-MBA".https://www.samimsafaei.studio Leadership / Vision / Roadmap / GTM / DE&I / BIPOC / Immigrant / SmartHomes / Smart Lighting / Optics / Infrared / Electrical Engineer / Data Analytics / Data Management / Artificial Intelligence / Generative AI / Machine Learning / NLP / LLMs / GPT / RAG / Product Management / UI UX / Digital Media / Multimedia / Curation / Stable Diffusion / Audio / Music / Human Machine Interfaces / HMI / Psychology / Perception / Neuroscience / Synesthesia / Wellness / Digital Health / Mental Health / Therapy / Growth / Workforce Challenges
